As an art history fan, I loved this cave.
No photos allowed but when you see how remote this area was, a photo really doesn’t capture the sense of space in the cave or the very large gorge this cave is a part of. (How did anyone reach this space?)
Also, this cave is about 20 minutes outside of Matera. I never would have found it without a tour. (In fact,I believe the cave is closed unless you are with a tour now.)
The audio presentation mentioned these paintings, which would have filled the entire space originally, are 500 years before Giotto. Who knows what will be discovered next in this incredible area?
